wickedwordsSGA fandom makes me happy. It's been 4 years, and while there's a lot of things in canon that haven't gone the way we predicted back in season one, the whole show is still rife with potential for fascinating stories about the characters. I love that there is so much to riff on, so many potentials that fell by the wayside or simply weren't asked. New seasons give us more canon, but there's nothing that says that it has to be incorporated into new fiction. If you want to set a story in an AU where Carson never died or Elizabeth never left Atlantis, that's all open territory. Or if you want to explore the seamier side of all of those 'genetic' references, that's open too. We have canonical drug addition, canonical sexual 'trade', a city with rooms that have never been explored (still), mind control by aliens, alternate universe, shared dreams, and pretty much any fannish trope you can name. Dark stories or sweet, anything is possible in the universe, and all that potential world-building is exciting to me.
Plus I just love the characters. I find the whole team to be incredibly hot, and the characters are fascinating to me--yes, even Kavanaugh. I love seeing how they have grown and changed over the course of the show, how they have settled into themselves and their roles in the city--or not. How people work is always fascinating to me, since I can never be anyone else. So having the large supporting cast gives all of SGA fandom a lot to work with.
SGA is a natural for world-building and in-depth character exploration, my favorite kinds of fan fiction, and the fandom's authors follow through in spades. I may not agree with all interpretations of events or actions--after all, we are all watching different shows together--but the diversity as a whole is incredible. The fandom makes me happy.
